I Don't Know If It'll Work, But It's Hard to Not Be Excited If You're An MSU Fan

I'd certainly do it against the teams we're outmanned by. I wouldn't do it against equal and lesser teams though

I agree. Our local HS coach is a big believer in doing crazy things early in games when he perceives that the opponent has a talent advantage or if his team seems to be "low energy" for some reason. I've seen him go for a 4th and 3 inside his own 30 multiple times in the last 8 years. Amazingly, it works probably 80% of the time. Of course, this is the same coach who had a OL go in motion on a 4th down, then drop and do "the worm" to draw the other team offsides.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. All hail your local HS football legend.

This was close to the point we were. My wife after the bowl game actually said "if Moorhead is the coach then I won't even watch a game next year". I was almost to that point. We had already talked about just going to the tailgate next year to see friends and not even getting tickets. I now want to go to Super Bulldog Weekend to see what our team looks like. It has definitely given us some excitement for the football program again. Once you fully lose it then it is hard to get back. I still kind of struggle with Men's Basketball. My give a crap just isn't where it was before Stans let the ship go down in flames and was replaced by Rick Ray who then set all the lifeboats on fire.

Howland hasn't done a decent job of rebuilding it. It isn't easy. Just look at Arkansas since Nolan Richardson left.

Same here. My wife had completely checked out. She told me I could waste my time if I wanted to but she wasn?t wasting a minute on State football next year. Now she?s following Leach on Twitter and sending me all the funny tweets. We?re all excited about the season. Amazing turn of events.
